In a traditional quinceañera, what type of dance is commonly performed by the court of honor?

A traditional quinceañera commonly features a choreographed waltz performed by the court of honor.

The waltz, often called the vals, is rehearsed in advance and may be performed with the quinceañera and her attendants. It is one of the best-known formal moments of the celebration and can involve an entrance, partner changes, or a carefully arranged sequence.

Many families now add other choreographed dances, including contemporary or popular styles. These additions do not eliminate the traditional waltz; they often follow it as a second performance.

The waltz is a formal dance tradition, not a requirement shared by every quinceañera. Customs differ according to family preference, local culture, and the size and style of the event.
